------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-12-03 20:31 UTC ------- Okay, the bug is definitely NOT fixed. Although I was able to maintain a session after a soft shutdown, when I quit Firefox immediately after posting my last message, my desktop background image became solarized for a second (some of the darker colors became inversed), and then it dumped me back to the login screen. *That* had never happened before! I logged back in, but noticed that the mouse was acting jumpy, so I quickly selected shutdown. Everything vanished except for the background image, which solarized again, and began scrolling slowly to the left. After perhaps 90 seconds of this, the power simply went off, without any obvious shutdown sequence taking place. Nothing remotely like that had ever happened before. The next time I booted up and logged in, I opened Firefox, used it for a few minutes, and then had it die when a system notification of new upgrades appeared (for the PERL modules). I opened up Update Manager and attempted to install the upgrades, but looking at the detailed view of the installation process, I noticed that it said "Segmentation Fault 7145", and appeared to hang shortly thereafter. Then a message appeared saying that Update Manager could not get an exclusive lock, and then it vanished without me dismissing it. Shortly afterwards, the keyboard stopped responding to input, and about 30 seconds later the mouse and the screen froze, and I had to do a hard reset. So, yeah, the problem isn't fixed. Honestly, given how completely unique and irreproducable every crash is, I would ordinarily believe that I simply had flaky hardware -- except for the fact that every *second* time I boot Ubuntu, it works like a dream. If I had flaky hardware, this wouldn't be possible! This is driving me nuts.... somebody please help? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
